Hate for my first post about my wonderful new Sportswagen to be a pile of TMI, but here goes anyway...
I bought my TDI Sportswagen at the end of March. Rather soon after driving my car, I began to experience what I thought were panic attacks while driving. Now I'm certain that it is more of a motion sickness / vertigo experience. This only seems to happen on the highways.
I've tried a few different seating positions and being either completely down or up seems to help a little, but not 100%.
This has NEVER happened to me in any other vehicle I've driven. I'm 37 years old and have owned and operated a variety of vehicles over the years.
I feel like I've ruled out CO exposure as I've driven around with a household CO detector and did not pick up any readings.
I also plan to do medical follow-ups just to be sure, but wanted to see if anyone else ever had this experience with this vehicle. The fact is that this is probably the most comfortable, quiet and luxurious vehicle I've ever owned short of a Nissan Altima and in a strange way I wonder if that comfort level is contributing to this physiological response I'm getting - as well as the physical structure of the car.
